- Impressions and Landscapes

When people disappear from my life, the books arrive. So was the case this Monday

first came Resistance, Rebellion and Death by Albert Camus

then Poet in New York by F.G.L

then The Selected Poems of Federico Garcia Lorca

then The Myth of Sisyphus by A.C again

then Gypsy Ballads by F.G.L

and finally the book where I hope to find all the answers arrived at the office wrapped up well:

Impressions and Landscapes which was the first book of Federico Garcia Lorca published in 1918. I dont know what is hidden between Albert Camus and Federico Garcia Lorca but the latter writes in his first book;

Dear reader: If you read this entire book, you will note in it a certain vagueness and a certain melancholy. You will see how things upon things pass by, always portrayed bitterly, interpreted sadly. All the scenes parading through these pages are an interpretation of memories, landscapes, figures. Reality may not show its hoary head perhaps, but fantasy for inner passionate moods spreads its its spiritual glow over exterior nature magnifying small things, dignifying ugliness as the full moon does upon invading the fields.

There is in our soul something surpassing everything that exists.
